    Voice Command has stopped announcing and confirming

    I've had my T-Mobile Wing (Windows Mobile 6.1) for several months, and I've particularly enjoyed the Voice Command feature, worked great. Just today, I noticed it had stopped working. In particular, what has happened is the Voice command is no longer confirming with any audio whatsoever.

     What used to happen was I would push the Voice Command button, hear the confirming beep, say "Call John Doe", and hear the response "Call John Doe ay mobile", say yes, and it would dial.

     Now - I push the button, I can see the icon on the screen - but no beep. If I say "Call John Doe", the contacts screen appears, but no confirming message.

     So I think the audio output from Voice Command has stopped working. All the other phone features still work, and I have tried soft reset. I will try a hard reset next, but I'm not hopeful. Any clues out there?

    Welcome Jeffrey !

    I don't use Voice Command but I think there are settings to turn on/off sounds - make sure that 'Call Confirmations' and 'Dial Confirmations' are set to 'Yes'

    Also check your sounds within your current profile - Settings, Profiles.

    Sorry - I have a Dash which is a Smartphone so it is different - on the Wing, go to the Phone keypad and click on Menu, Options - to check the Sound settings.

    So it seems to b fixed now - I did a soft reset, no luck. Then I went through all the sound options, turned everything off, then back on. At least it's working. Thanks for the advice
